2015 Stanford Season Preview

The Cardinal won their 2nd Pac-12 championship in as many years in 2013, winning 11 games and posting an 8-2 conference record. David Shaw has turned the cardinal and white into a perennial conference and national championship contender and expectations are high for 2014. Stanford lost some key talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball following the 2013 season. Gone are outstanding linebackers Trent Murphey, Shayne Skov, and Jarek Lancester. Add defensive ends Ben Gardner and Josh Mauro to the list of departures and there are some serious question marks regarding the Cardinal’s defense in 2014. Despite losing all of that experience, Stanford still looks to start 9 seniors on defense, and returning quarterback Kevin Hogan has Palo Alto’s sights set on yet another Pac-12 title. Stanford’s schedule is filled with exciting matchups, including a week 2 meeting with USC, and trips to Oregon and UCLA.
